Slice Out Special

Pizzerias around the US are offering specialty "SOS" pizzas in May 2017. For every pizza sold, $1 will benefit NO KID HUNGRY. Pizzerias that raise the most dough will win prize packages from top ingredient producers such as Molino Caputo, Galbani Cheese, WestRock pizza boxes, and Bianco DiNapoli Tomatoes. PLUS the #1 fundraising pizzeria will get an extra $1,000 donation to a hunger relief program of their choice, courtesy of Corto Olive Oil! All funds raised from SOS pizza sales will benefit No Kid Hungry.

Simply fill out this form by April 20 to participate with your pizzeria. You are welcome to fill out the form and participate after the sign-up deadline has passed, but you may not be included in our press release.

Frequently Asked Questions {for participating pizzerias}

Does it cost me anything to participate?

> No!

Can I choose who gets the money I raise?

> All proceeds raised by this campaign will benefit NO KID HUNGRY. They'll make sure that the funds you raise will support hungry children across the country. No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger today by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast and families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget. We're partnering with No Kid Hungry to streamline our fundraising impact and assure that communities in peril get what they need. No child should go hungry in America, but 1 in 5 kids will face hunger this year.

What will I win if I raise the most money?

> We've partnered with some of the best ingredient producers in the pizza industry to provide you with added incentive to raise tons of money for national hunger relief. Here's a breakdown of prizes for the top three fundraisers:

When is my check due?

> All funds raised must be postmarked by June 15, 2017 in order for your pizzeria to be eligible for a prize package (Molino Caputo flour, Galbani Cheese, Bianco DiNapoli Tomatoes, WestRock pizza boxes) and inclusion in the post-event press release. Failure to send your check by June 15 will automatically render you ineligible for a prize package and may disqualify you from participation in future Slice Out Hunger campaigns.

Where do I send my check?

I signed up. Now what?

> All you have to do is create a specialty pizza, call it the Slice Out Special (SOS), and promote it at your restaurant for the month of May. At the end of the month, you'll send $1 to Slice Out Hunger for every SOS pizza sold.

How can I help promote the campaign?

> Tell your customers about your pizza using the hashtags #pizza4good and #sliceoutspecial on social media. Also be sure to follow @sliceouthunger on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook so you can monitor for our posts about YOUR pizzeria! If you tag us, we'll spread the love by reposting.

Why should I participate in this campaign rather than hosting my own?

> There is great power in unity. Combining under a single campaign helps the pizza community as a whole and greatly amplifies the message that we care about our neighbors. It also helps garner media attention and general awareness, since we'll all be promoting the same thing.
